Device Names are not appearing in Netgear Genie for R7000

I am running firmware V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 and none of my device names are appearing under Netgear Genie browser page.  

 

I see IP addresses and MAC addresses but not Device Names.  They used to appear.  

 

Know how to fix this?

    However I've had this router for a LONG time (I'm now on the lastest official Beta). I might have had to enter the names for the devices myself a long time ago? However it is possible I didn't need too? Reason is the KINDLE above. I wouldn't have left it with that name, especially the numbers behind it?

     

    In any event, I think you CAN enter meaningful information for Device Name under ADVANCED --> SECURITY --> ACCESS CONTROL. There you can select a device and EDIT it's name:

      See picture.  They used to.  I was wondering if the router picks up name.  I had them before but now they don't.Capture.JPG

        Reset the Router (hidden button recessed on back, hold it down until the power light flashes) and re-enter all your settings, maybe that willl fix it?

         

        Might work if you export the settings, reset, and import.

         

        Could also try the beta and see if it works
